Detrimental Glitch That Slows Your Walking Speed

I just encountered a glitch that I have not seen talked about. I wanted to make a forum post to warn runners about it, or to see if anyone else has seen it before.

I was just completing a run, I was very happy with it and was ready to stop the timer when I realized I was 1:30 behind. I was super confused as I hadn't made any serious mistakes and had great Shark/Seal parts. I played my run and my previous run at the same time to see what I messed up on, but they quickly became very out of sync when I was just walking. I was walking about 1.5x slower in my new run. This lasted all the way up until starting Molly's segment, which then returned my speed to normal.

It might be a console only glitch, but I wanted to acknowledge it. It has already fixed itself, but it sucks that it ruined that run.

Edit: I just recreated it, and I think I know what causes it. I started my runs with the wr video playing along side it. At first, my runs loaded FASTER than the wr. But as I kept resetting, my load times increased. After the 5th reset, Edith again became 1.5x slower. So it seems if I want to have the fastest speeds and loadtimes, I have to restart my whole game. If anyone knows better, please correct me.

Back when I was doing runs this happened to me. I noticed around the time I got around halfway through the forest at the beginning I was already in the red. After that I took a break and when I came back it was fixed.

Timing rules update!

We (and by "we", I mean @Eray) recently discovered that there are significant load time differences between when the opening music starts and character control depending on platform. So, in an effort to even the playing field for everyone, and honestly for simplicity, we're **changing the timing of
